DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: Los 

Angeles County, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of the 

California Department of Transportation 

(Caltrans), is issuing this notice to 

advise the public that a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement will be 

prepared for a proposed highway 

widening project on Interstate 5 in the 

cities of Santa Fe Springs, Commerce, 

Montebello, Downey, and East Los 

Angeles, in Los Angeles County, 

California. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ronald Kosinski, Deputy District 

Director, Caltrans District 7, 100 S. Main 

Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213) 

897–0703. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) assigned, and 

the California Department of 

Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, 

environmental responsibilities for this 

project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. 

Caltrans will prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement on a proposal for 

constructing freeway improvements to 

Interstate 5 (I–5) from Interstate 605 (I–

605) though the I–5/Interstate 710 (I–

710) interchange in Los Angeles County, 

California. The project consists of 

widening I–5 to accommodate High 

Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and/or 

general purpose lanes. Depending on 

the alternative selected, the project may 

also include modifications to the I–605 

and I–710 interchanges. A Major 

Investment Study (MIS) for the project 

was completed in July 1998. It 

identified a fully standard ten-lane, atgrade facility as the Locally Preferred 

Alternative (LPA). 

The purpose of the proposed project 

is to (1) improve level of service during 

AM and PM peak periods, to reduce 

congestion related delays, and enhance 

safety and mobility in this segment of 

the I–5 freeway as compared to the nobuild condition; (2) provide continuity 

of facilities and capacity on the I–5 

freeway between the I–605 and I–710 in 

Los Angeles County; (3) maintain 

structural flexibility in the freeway 

corridor for additional future capacity 

improvements; (4) improve interchange 

access/egress points and levels of 

service; (5) improve access to regional 

transit and HOV facilities; (6) improve 

mobility on local surface streets 

operationally interdependent with the 

freeway corridor by reducing existing 

and future congestion on both the state 

and local facilities; and (7) explore 

Transportation System Management 

(TSM) improvements for the I–5 and 

parallel arterials. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include (1) a no-build option; (2) 

implementing a Transportation System 

Management/Transportation Demand 

Management plan; (3) constructing a 10- 

lane facility with two HOV lanes; and 

(5) constructing a 12-lane facility (may 

be constructed in stages depending on 

availability of funding) with two or four 

HOV lanes. Alternatives that promote 

transit use, improve access to the Metro 

Gold Line Eastside Extension, and 

engineering designs that are compatible 

with the alternatives proposed for the I–

710 Freeway (including the I–710 MiniStudy) are also important 

considerations. 

These basic alternatives will have 

additional design variations, which 

provide optional lane use (general, 

HOV, or auxiliary use), optional on and 

off ramp modifications, and other 

engineering details. These alternatives 

may be refined, combined with various 

different alternative elements, or be 

removed from further consideration, as
